I’ve been thinking about wheels dice I’ve gotten the car…(I think we are on year 4??). Anyways, I’ve always liked the thin multi spokes of the Mercedes wheels - think Transporter 1 bad guys Merc cars.

I tried in vain to find similar wheels and it seemed like every one I liked was 21in. finally it occurred to me to look OEM + not aftermarket. Call me old fashioned, I just don’t love the machined faces trend.

So I found Alpinas in 20s and rode them for awhile…. Well I also suddenly realized there’s like 2 B7s in my neighborhood weirdly lol. So I felt a little less clever and unique. So I got them refinished and here it is!

Looks a lot more fitting to shadowline setup like yours.

.....and if you replace the wheel center caps with "BMW" roundels, no one will be the wiser....even the other two B7 owners.

I don’t know if this is sarcasm or what… but I do agree… the red & white logos seem a little busy for my taste. I have to probably buy some new center caps becaus the old ones are a little worn from daily duty last several years.
